High temporal resolution transparent thermoelectric temperature sensors for photothermal effect sensing

Abstract

We propose inkjet-printed high-speed and transparent temperature sensors based on the thermoelectric effect for direct monitoring of the photothermal effect. They consist of highly transparent organic thermoelectric materials that allow excellent biocompatibility and sub-ms temporal resolution, simultaneously. Our transparent thermoelectric temperature sensors can be used to advance various photothermal biomedical applications. © 2023 The Royal Society of Chemistry.
